Korean War Stew – BUDAE JJIGAE (부대찌개)

BUDAE JJIGAE (부대찌개) originally means “army soup” and comes from the Korean War (1950-1953).

It’s the perfect fusion of American and Korean cuisine, made with food that was common after the Korean War.

There are many ways to make it, but all of the recipes share most of the same common ingredients – tofu, canned ham, cabbage, rice cake, green onions, and even ramen.
